"A fine young mule belonging to
Mr.. R. H. Mason, while tied up in
the stable with a rope halter last
Saturday night, got one of its hind
feet fastened in the halter by some

itself inflicted some severe injuries
about its head and neck with the
rope. 1t is now rapidly recovering
from the accident.

Business Proverbs.

The moth will never harm the
goods of the man who advertises.
A merchant is known by the adj
vertisement he keeps-standing.
An inch of advertising space in a
live newspaper is worth fivelhundred
feet on dead tree or a plank fence.
AS We sow your seeds of advertise
ments, so shall ye reapta crop of
quick-buying customers.
The wise man anvertiseth his wares
in we newspaper, the fool on the car
mine emblem of ye sheriff.
If the front of we store appeareth
not in ye town paper, then the eye
of ye customer discerneth it not. M
What doth it profit a.man if .he
buyeth an abundance of wares, yet
hideth their existence under the seal
of secrecy, i. e., does not advertise.

andall Ext Confederate Tennessee and
Mexican Veterans, and all other
guests Texas will Hospitality entertain.
Such public gatherings as the one
you are to have on the 18th and 19tn
inst, inspired by principles of patri-
otism, drawn together by the links of
soldier love, and presided over by
the genius of that good faith, which
while it remembers with affection
and pride, the patriotic devotion and
unsurpassed valor of late comrades
living and dead-looks also to the
future with cheerfullness and hope.
For it is proverbial that the best SOL
diers in our late war, both Confeder-
ate and Federal, make the best citi-
zens in peace. Such commingling of
kindred and opposing spirits does
much to allay antagotism and work
a proper appreciation of the present,
and excite high hope of the future.
Such reunions refresh incidents of
camp, of march, ofbattle; and while
it gives them the touch and tone
of legendary lore, places them at the
command of those who will treasure
them for future histories. Many of
the happiest and brightest incidents
especially those most redolent with
personal charms-connected with our
unequal but glorious Confederate
struggle ore yet in legendary form,
and should be preserved for historic
use, when the sunlight of truth and
justice shall have dispelled the clouds
of passion and prejudice. Such re-
union, to those mderwritten facts,
is but " the art preservative." The
patriotism, gallantry and glory of
our interstate strife belongs to no
section, but to all, and when the
abrasions of yesterday and today
shall have worn smooth, history will
so write it.
How inviting the scene will be, Of
a vast number of our eX-Confeder-
ate comrades, assembled from points
remote, with here and there an old
patriot of San Jacinto fame, and Il
few Mexican veterans, who in their
young manhood moved upon the
Block Fort at Monterey, over the
heights of Buena Vista, and under
the fire of many subsequent battles
in that great war, of which Texas
was the cause and consequence
men who brought back with them
from Montezuma Land permanent
peace and territorial empire. Yes,all
these assembled, and peacefully and
socially commingling on the soil Of
Texas, will be no common event.
We hope every ex-Confederate SOL
dier in the State will attend.

them but tries the patience of 1.-THE

a strip of muslin one and one
half inches wide, and long enough to
90 around the pie and lap. Wet the
cloth in cold water, and lay upou the

the pie is taken from the oven re-

which written answers were required.
1t is certainly to be hoped that GER
tifcates will not be issued to any
persons who do not prove themselves
fully competent to teach. The pub
lie school fund is very limited, and
only the very best teachers that can
be secured for the small amounts
apportioned to each district should
be employed. Not only the compe-
tency of applicants to teach should be
taken into consideration, but their
moral character should also belooked
into. Not every person who is in
tellectually competent to teach is
morally fitted to take charge of a
school of little children. The time
has come when an upright, pure
moral character should be demanded
OF all school teachers, as well as a
mere capacity to teach Readin',
'ritin', and 'rithmetic." In requir-
ing all applicants to undergo a pub
lie examination, superintendent Griz-
zle is but fulfilling the law, and the
course is certainly to be commended,
as it, will nave a tendency to raise
the standard of teachers.

In accordance with the venerated custom of New

humbly confess their transgressions and short
comngs to Almighty God and in humility acknowl'
edge their dependence upon him. Therefore l.
Ebenezer j. Ormsbee governor of the state OF YER
mont, do hereby appoint Friday. the eighth day OF
April next, as day of fasting humiliation and
prayer. Let us that day cease from our accus-
toned abors, refrain from improper amusements
and meet in the appointed places of worship and
there Join in fitting and appropriate religious exer-
cises. 1 recommend that at such exercises and at
our homes we make special acknowledgment of our
dependence upon the Divine Providence and de-
voutly pray to God for continuance of his many
blessings and mercies. Especially let us earnestly
suppcate that the scourge of ntemperance may be
stayed and that otherwise happy and prosperous
land may be relieved from that widespread and
terrible curse; and may not only so pray, but so
live, that precept and example may be in accord
ance with such prayer.

To BE REQUIRED ON SUBSCRIPTIONS TO THE
WATCHMAN MAY /, 1887.

10 BE hEt4UlR ON CUBSChifllONS ~ lhr
WATCHMAN MAY /, 1887.
On the 1st of May, 1887, we shall put the
entire subscription list of the WATcHMAN on
the plan of strictly advance payment, at
that time disseminating all papers not paid
for ahead and collecting the unpaid bal
ances like any other account We are sat
istied from our experience with the present
plan that the new plan is the only right
and desirable one for both subscribers and
publisher. 1t is no exaggeration to state
that the former publishers of this paper lost
thousands of dollars on subscriptions by adj
herence to the credit plan, to say nothing
of the trouble in making collections and the
time spent in sending out bills, too often
without compensating results. We are con-
vinced that it would be poor business policy
to continue this method.
We find that an increasing number of
subscribers now make it special condition
of their subscription that their paper shall
be stopped when the time has run out un-
less they order its continuance large
number invariably pay in advance or within
a reasonable time; but there is an equally
there are not few who either cannot or
will not pay. The losses from this class
take off the profits from those who are
"good pay" The rule requiring extra pay
for arrears had been so far relaxed when
the WATCHMAN came into our possession
that we have found it impracticabe to en-
force it without creating much dissatisfac-
ton. Besides, it seems unjust that one class
of subscribers who have paid at least once a
year should be compelled to make up the
deficiencies of another.
The propriety of the position we are TAX
ing must be evident to all. The system of
advance payments is the practice of most
of the city papers; and in our own state it
has been tried by several papers for some
years, and their publishers say they could
not be induced to go back to the old plan.
If our subscription list is smaller under the
new system land we anticipate that it will
be-, we shall have the satisfaction of know
ing that we are getting pay for all the
papers we are sending out, and the sub
scribers will have the satisfaction of know
ing that they have paid for all the papers
they receive. The paper will stop at the
expiration of the time for which it is paid,
and the subscriber will be saved the trouble
of ordering it discontinued if he does not
want it longer.
We trust that all of our patrons who are
in arrears and who want the paper for
another year will comply with our new
terms before the 1st of May, 1887. The la
bel on their papers shows the date to which
they have paid and they can readily ascer-
tain the amount that is our due, but state
ments of account will be sent on request.

The snow-storm of last week Tuesday
was of small account in Montpelier and i'm
mediate vicinity, but in other sections il
was the worst of the season. In Duxbury
and Bolton the snowfall was estimated at
eighteen inches to two feet, and the high
ways were badly drifted. In Burlington
the fall was some ten inches and in st.

teen. Over twenty inches fell in the vicinity
of Middlebury. Trains were stalled between
New Haven and Vergennes. Some of the
country mail-carriers We're compelled to
suspend their regular trips. The cuts on
the Missisquoi railroad were badly filed.
In some towns the roads were impossible
until the last of the week. Eighteen inches
of snow fell in Berkshire county, Mass
The Albany road was blocked by huge
drifts for long distance. At Gloversville,
n. Y, the snow was piled as high as the
store-fronts and snow tunnel was used to
enter one hotel. In Hamilton county, n. Y,
there is ten feet of snow on level.

while illustrating progress in medical sci
ence, introduced a deaf patient whose case
bafiled all medical skill and was considered
hopeless. But an invention belonging to f.
Hiscox, New York, having been recon-
mended, il was used with very satisfactory
results, as it fully restored the hearing. 1t
was tested in other cases and found to be
more successful than any known device for
the relief of deafness, as hearing lost for
many years was fully restored by it. This
invention is all the more satisfactory as it is
out of sight and does not require TO be held
in position And while il can be readily
removed or inserted by the patients them
selves, il is withal curative in action and
comfortable TO wear.
